1) that didn't look like the best designed reed intake I've seen.
2) You are copying someone elses design, ok to do for yourself, but not very cool to go and sell in my opinion. Design your own, it's not that hard, just as hard as machining your own. Cut the cases open to get the reed as close to the crank as you can, not sitting miles above it w/ a bunch of random space below it.

All those reed blocks are based around RD reeds, which are a dime a dozen.

So I guess the lesson here is to build on, but add aerodynamic fins or a clock radio or something to it so that in the very remote chance that somebody takes exception to what you're doing, you can claim a discernible difference in the manufacturing.

Or, do what GM does and just slap an Oldsmobile or Pontiac badge on it and everybody will magically think there's a difference.
